Works good, would be nice if I could assign a key to do that without edit/paste special/unformatted

2.Use “Replace” Feature
Pressed “Alt + F9” to change to the “Link” view--->Type “^d HYPERLINK” in “Find what” text box-->click “Replace All"

Confusing, and this is Mac, no Alt

3.Use Macro
The code is below:

Code:

Sub RemoveLinks()
    While ThisDocument.Hyperlinks.Count > 0
     ThisDocument.Hyperlinks(1).Delete
   Wend
 End Sub

Give me a heads up on how use macros. Use to use them in letters and things, copy addresses to envelope, add date, etc., but forgot how. Link to a tutorial? Thanks

Hope it helps.

Hi,Lrrryo

I didn't notice that you are using Office for Mac 2011, so the ways are used in Windows.
But I think they should be similar so you can search them online. Hope it goes well.
